28 May 2009 Adelaide Hills Excitement at K1 Completion of another vintage at Geoff Hardy’s K1 Kuitpo Vineyard has seen further promise in emerging varieties.The first commercial production of Arneis under the ‘Handcrafted’ label in the 2008 vintage has received wide acclaim and increasing consumer acceptance. Arneis is an ancient white variety with a native home in Piedmont, northwest Italy, and its aromas of pears and herbs, coupled with almond-like flavours on the palate lend it to a food-friendly style that works well with current culinary trends of tapas and mezze style dining.While aromatic and fresh, the style tends not to display the overt pungency of Sauvignon Blanc wines, making it easier to match with a variety of dishes. Such is Geoff Hardy’s confidence in the style that future releases are destined for ‘Gold Label’ livery! Another wave of excitement is being generated by plantings of the Austrian varietal Gruner Veltliner, which are due to come into production over the next couple of seasons. Gruner Veltliner can produce wines that combine both perfume and textural substance on the palate, not unlike many wines from Alsace, while also displaying fresh, spicy fruit characters. Although not yet widely planted in Australia, the variety is certainly gaining some interest and is one to watch. Alternative Amadio Photo courtesy of SAWIA. Third generation winemaker Danniel Amadio has taken the reins at Amadio Wines Kersbrook Vineyard and is now producing award-winning wines that highlight his sought-after alternative varieties. Accompanying the conventional varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Semillon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir,Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon,up and coming varieties are bringing the best out of this idyllic terroir.Varieties including Fiano, Pinot Grigio, Arneis, Sangiovese, Barbera, Dolcetto,Tempranillo and Montepulciano are all making a name for Amadio. The source of these premium wines has come from generations of hard work in the vineyard and meticulous hand-crafting of the wines by Danniel Amadio himself.
